Here is the Jig. Not exactly a football jig as I reported earlier. I got it at Academy. I also bit the end off the Wooly Bullee to make it fit like I wanted.
I believe that jig is called a Hoppy's stroker jig. It is made for ledge fishing and it falls backwards a bit when it hopped off the bottom or "stroked".
But this bass looked FAT. I'd bet it went 8 or better.
I caught a 7.5 pounder last year and this one was most definitely fatter and heavier. I couldn't find my scale or anything to measure girth with. I think it lost at least a pound in the lip when I set the hook )
